Pico Space Pro Wins FCC Approval, Revealing 7,000 mAh Tethered Main Unit

Summary

  • FCC filings cleared Pico Space Pro for the US market, listing two certified components: a “Mixed Reality Headset” and a separate “Mixed Reality Main Unit.”
  • The newly public labels point to a tethered puck design, with the main unit carrying a 7,000 mAh battery rated at 54.32 Wh and support for Wi-Fi 7.
  • Radio documents show the headset itself lacks explicit Wi-Fi authorization in the filing but does include a 2.402-2.480 GHz link and an nRF controller connection, suggesting some compute and power shift to the puck.
  • That setup aligns with earlier leaked SDK videos showing an external puck, while Pico had already said the headset would use 4,000 PPI micro-OLED displays and a dual-chip system with roughly 2x XR2 Gen 2-class CPU and GPU performance.
  • The certification arrived one day before Pico’s originally planned launch event date after the company canceled that event and pushed the Space Pro release to Q4 2026.
